Kyle Richards saves her daughter from running into traffic by gently tugging the five-year-old's hair

Kyle Richards experienced a scary moment on Tuesday when her daughter Portia ran near a busy street.

Fortunately, the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star acted fast and gently tugged a strand of the five-year-old's hair to pull her back.

Portia swiftly returned to her mother, and the 45-year-old gave her a stern talking to about being safe around traffic.

Acting fast: Kyle Richards gently tugged her daughter Portia's hair to stop the five-year-old running out into traffic as they left a Studio City restaurant on Tuesday

The mother and daughter duo had just left a Studio City restaurant after lunch together.

Richards
was dressed casually in jeans, a white-buttoned down shirt and pink
flip flops for the lunch with Portia and another mother-daughter pair.

The
well-heeled aunt of Paris Hilton had her brunette locks styled in a
high pony tail and carried an expensive leather tote bag with shiny
bronze stitching.

Her
beautiful daughter - Portia's father is real estate agent Mauricio
Umansky - was in light pink shorts, a pink top and mini Ugg boots.

The socialite and other cast members of the dramatic reality show are all receiving pay raises, it was revealed this week.

Season Five returnees including Kyle and her sister, Kim; Brandi Glanville, Yolanda Foster and Lisa Vanderpump - plus new addition Lisa Rina - will all earn between $450,000 to $500,000 apiece.

Kim has described Season Four - with the bitter snipping between Brandi and the others - as 'dark.'

But the good-natured mother-of-four said she's already having a good time filming new episodes.

'I think it’s going to be a really good season and I’m excited. I’m curious, like the viewer, to see things unfold and see what the relationships are like,' she told Us Weekly last month as filming recommenced.
